      1/2  Cup           dairy sour cream
    1      Cup           all-purpose flour
    2      Tbsp          brown sugar
    2      Tsp           poppyseed
    1      Tsp           baking powder
      1/4  Tsp           baking soda
      1/4  Tsp           salt
    3      Tbsp          margarine or butter
      1/3  cup           dairy sour cream
    1                    egg -- separated
                         Coarse sugar
    2      Tbsp          orange marmalade
    2      caps          sliced fresh strawberries
    1      Tbsp          orange-flavored liqueur or orange juice
 
 In a small bowl stir together whipping cream and the sour cream. Cover;
 let stand for 4 hours at room temperature to thicken. Chill till serving
 time.
 
 Stir together flour, brown sugar, poppyseed, baking powder, baking soda,
 and salt. Cut in margarine or butter till mixture resembles coarse
 crumbs. Combine the 1/3 cup sour cream and egg yolk; add to dry mixture.
 Stir just till moistened.
 
 On a lightly floured surface knead dough gently for 10 to 12 strokes. On
 an ungreased baking sheet, pat or roll dough into a 6-inch circle (1/2
 inch thick). Cut dough into six wedges. Do not separate wedges. Brush
 tops with slightly beaten egg white. Sprinkle with coarse sugar. Bake in
 a 425[degrees] oven for 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from pan. Cool 5
 minutes. Break scones apart.
 
 To serve, stir marmalade into cream mixture. (If necessary, stir in
 about 1 tablespoon milk to thin to desired consistency.) Toss berries
 with liqueur or juice. Cut scones in half; place bottoms on six dessert
 plates. Divide berries among each serving. Top with cream mixture and
 scone tops. Makes 6 servings.
